==History==
 
=== 1982–2006 ===
Prior to 1982, international cricket matches in Ahmedabad were played at [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad|Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium]] (located in [[Navarangpura|Navrangpura]]), owned by the [[Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation]].
Formerly known as the Gujarat Stadium, the ground was renamed in tribute to [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel]], India's first [[Home Minister]] and [[Deputy Prime Minister of India|Deputy Prime Minister]]. Before the Sardar Patel Stadium, international cricket matches in the city were played at the [[Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation]]'s [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad|stadium of the same name]] (Sardar Patel Stadium) in the [[Navarangpura|Navrangpura]] area. In 1982, the Government of Gujarat donated a {{convert|100|acre|m2|adj=on|order=flip}} stretch of land on the banks of the [[Sabarmati River]] to build a new stadium. The construction of the Sardar Patel Stadium was completed in nine months.<ref name='htold'>{{cite news|title=Why Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad will make cricket history|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/why-sardar-patel-stadium-in-motera-ahmedabad-will-make-cricket-history/story-7b59h4SZG5yHl7BGkg9agK.html|access-date=10 December 2016|newspaper=Hindustan Times|date=10 December 2016|author=HT Correspondent|archive-date=10 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161210175135/http://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/why-sardar-patel-stadium-in-motera-ahmedabad-will-make-cricket-history/story-7b59h4SZG5yHl7BGkg9agK.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Since then, all International cricket fixtures for the city are hosted here. In the [[Australian cricket team in India in 1984–85|1984-85 Australia India series]], Sardar Patel Stadium hosted its first [[One Day International|ODI]], in which India lost.
 
In 1982, the Government of Gujarat allocated a {{convert|100|acre|m2|adj=on|order=flip}} stretch of land on the banks of the [[Sabarmati River]] to build a new stadium.
